thank you for looking for me.It was Maria that I was looking for but she may well be under a different surname.
I am actually looking for siblings Charles and Maria both born Woolwich but I dont know what surname they would be under. I dont think there is that facility to search the census with just forenames.
Back to the drawing board....
Thank you

Little Lost Report 6 Nov 2008 07:54

thank you Rose, that would be the one I was looking for as Ellens maiden name was Doggett, but its not finding Charles and Maria so thats that theory gone

You can search by first name only on Ancestry.

What do you know about Charles and Maria in later years? I presume you have them in a census or married somewhere? Tell us what you know for sure so we can work backwards.

rather long story .
Maria BUTLER and Charles BUTLER are in the Metropolitan district school in 1881 census both each others nearest living relation no mention of parents. On 1871 census first glance gives Maria and Chalres with parents but this isnt my Maria as this one appears later on a census with ehr parents under her married name of SHURETY.
My Maria Butler married William Pearson in 1890 in Kent and she puts her fathers name as William Butler also the same as the one who married Shurety.
Maria place of birth is Woolwich, I have checked some parish records for her but cant find a birth registered or baptism.
My theory this morning was that an Ellen Doggett married Arthur Chappel and had Chalres and Maria but Arthur died and she remarried a William Butler!!
sadly thats not the case.

on Maria's marriage cert - does it give William Butler's occupation? And does it say deceased?

I think that is the one where later the daughter Maria is then Maria Shurety. I think the mother is from lands end

nothing on marriage certificate to say he is deceased but his occupation is just labourer.

I was thinking that maybe their mother died and thats why they were put into the school. They were admitted 25 jan 1878

here's another in 1871 - father William, sister Maria

weird that the kids have the same names! Just the mother's name is different!

that one is ruled out because thats the same one that has Maria as Mrs Shurety.

I dont actually have a mothers name yet as I cant find any baptism or birth.
I was trying to work out if there could have been a death for their father and mother remarried to a william Butler. Which is where I came up with the theory of Ellen married previously to Arthur Chappell.
If you see what I mean. I think I have treid all angles on this one and got nowhere.
